Pomegranate Seeds at Modnight

XII

Prancing around her back,
planting seeds of P A I N with every step,
she realizes that it's that time of the month.

With tight and warm embraces,
soft laughter and a hand to wipe away the tears,

he's T H E R E for her.

An arm over her shoulder,
resting her head on his chest,

she feels as though she is safe from the pain and the distress that lurks

throughout her M I N D and B O D Y.

Whispering quiet I love you's into her ear to reassure her
that he's there for her...

She'll miss the days that he's there for her,
the days that won't have an I LOVE YOU.

So she'll wipe her own tears away and smile,

because all good things must come to an end... just not today.
